A method to increase silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Simmons, P., & Singleton, I. (1996). A method to increase silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 45(1-2), 278-285. https://doi.org/10.1007/s002530050684

Ag+ biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Older (96 h old) biomass had half the biosorption capacity of younger (24 h old) biomass (0.187 and 0.387 mmol Ag+/g dry mass respectively). Comparisons of cell wal...

Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research (1994)
Journal Article
Singleton, I. (1994). Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 59(1), 9-23. https://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.280590104

The ability of microorganisms to metabolise xenobiotic compounds has received much attention due to the environmental persistence and toxicity of these chemicals. The microbial degradation of xenobiotics is seen as a cost effective method of removing... Read More about Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research.

Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres (1988)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1988). Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres. Chemical Engineering Science, 43(6), 1403-1405. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2888%2985113-3

The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations abou...
